Enter your presentation prompt
Type the topic or instructions in Write prompt. A simple topic such as Global Warming works, but including the audience, goal, and desired structure produces a more focused result.For example:
Create a presentation about global warming for a general audience. Explain its causes, effects, and potential solutions, and include supporting data.
Enter the topic or a detailed prompt for the presentation

Optionally attach a source file or adjust the presentation type, slide count, language, and advanced settings. Then select Get Started. Presenton analyzes the prompt, can search the web when enabled, and generates an outline.

Review the AI Assistant changes
Wait for the assistant to finish, then inspect every new or changed slide. Confirm that the slides appear in the requested position and that the template structure remains consistent. Verify all AI-generated facts, chart values, and table data before sharing the deck.
